### Chapter 1 - 8th Year

Harry was well experienced with nightmares, so waking up heart racing in a puddle of sweat was not shocking. He got up and turned on the light, in some ways grateful for the private room 8th years were afforded. The room was decorated in the Gryffindor colours, rich red drapes around the bed with gold trim. He felt weary and old looking at it, feeling at once too vulnerable for anything else and yet too world-worn to fully accept the child-friendly environment.

He trundled downstairs to the common room to find some tea. The 8th year common room was minimally decorated, housing students from all four houses presents certain decorative issues. The sofas are a dark brown leather. Harry hated them, they were too slippery and cold, and he didn't feel comfortable sitting on them unless he was wrapped in a blanket. There was a figure sat on the cream rug, looking into the fire. It was Draco.

They had all been surprised to see him return. Harry had felt initially like he shouldn’t have been allowed. Ron, of all people, had defended him, saying that they had all been kids really and he didn’t know if he would’ve acted any differently if his family had been threatened. There had been many moments in his life where Harry had been struck by the fact that his best friend was a better person than he was, and this was one of them.

Draco had returned skinny, pale hair and skin making him look almost translucent, but his head was held - well not high but not hanging either. There was a strength in him now, perhaps a strength they had all gained during the war. He’d approached Harry, Ron and Hermione to thank them, for helping his mother and saving his life. He spoke with a delicacy Harry hadn’t heard from him before, he was incredibly well-spoken and articulate, a manner that spoke of an aristocratic upbringing. They hadn’t really talked since, nodding to each other in the halls but nothing more. It was fine, Harry thought.

Draco didn’t turn when Harry walked in, which he thought was odd. He went about making a pot of tea. Draco still hadn’t moved. Harry watched him for a moment. Becoming concerned now, he walked round to Draco’s left side. There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and a bruise forming on his cheek. Harry blinked.  
“Draco...are you...what happened?”, Harry stuttered out. Draco turned to look at him slowly, tiredly.  
“Nothing unexpected, I guess some fifth years. They ganged up on me.” He admitted. Harry was unsure what to say for a moment.  
“Want some tea?”  
“Yes, please.” Draco replied, smiling a little. Harry brought two cups over, sitting down next to Draco and handing him a cup. They sat in silence for a while, sipping solemnly. Something Harry loved dearly about the world was that English wizards and muggles alike loved a cup of tea, and treated it as a balm that could solve many problems.  
“Will you tell McGonagall?”, Harry asked.  
“No.” Draco replied, impassively.  
“Fair enough.” Harry knew that it wasn’t the best thing, but really had he ever been that trusting of authority to handle things? It was kind of a theme in his life. Draco had probably suffered similar abuse from those who had power over him, if not from Voldemort himself, then his father and Aunt. If Harry was really being honest with himself, Dumbledore hadn’t exactly supported Draco like he had Harry. None of this lent itself to being trusting. 

Eventually, Draco got up and placed his cup in the sink. Harry, startled from his thoughts by the movement, followed suit and with a final parting nod headed back to bed. He felt strangely calmed, falling asleep quite quickly and not waking again until morning.  
The next day there was no trace of the bruises on Draco’s face. 

__________________________________

This same process was repeated for a couple of weeks, sometimes Harry was there first, sometimes Draco. Every now and then he was bruised or bleeding in some way. Harry never really asked about it, he got the sense Draco didn’t want to discuss it. Once, when Harry had tried to get to the bottom of it, Draco had snarled out, “I don’t need your help, Potter.” and went to bed without finishing his tea. He almost never called Harry ‘Potter’ these days. 

They became more at ease with each other, walking to lessons together, sitting next to each other at mealtimes. It was almost always a silent affair, but Harry appreciated that. Sometimes Draco would make a joke and make Harry laugh, and sometimes Harry would fall over and that would make Draco laugh. There was an easiness between them that Harry sometimes didn’t even feel with Ron and Hermione, he felt strangely understood by Draco.

It was March and the sun was just about shining warmly enough for people to sit outside. Harry was sat leaning against a tree by the lake, his defence against the dark arts textbook open in his lap, thinking about how he very much did not want to defend any more people against the dark arts and feeling very grumpy about the fact that it is what everyone wanted and expected for him.  
Draco plonked himself down next to him, leaning against the same tree, opening his potions book, all in one motion. “Hi.”, said Harry, grinning at Draco slightly. Like Hermione, Draco was in full exam preparation mode. She was revelling in the fact that she could study unencumbered by any of Harry or Voldemort’s shenanigans.  
“Hello.” said Draco, looking up briefly, then returning his gaze to a heavily annotated page on something Harry had given up trying to understand. Draco was whip smart, any nasty comment flung his way was always returned with a swift retort that seemed to come as easily as breathing for him. Next to him Harry felt like an ape. He was good at movement, acting without much thought, nothing too convoluted.

A group of five or so fourth years approached them. The leader, sneering at Draco, was big and broad shouldered, reminding Harry of Crabbe. He wondered if Draco also saw the similarity and found it painful.  
They evidently hadn’t seen Harry, obscured by the tree or its shadow. “Alright, Death Eater?” A phenomenal start from the leader.  
“Very well, thank you for asking.”, replied Draco, without pausing his writing. The response was clearly not what the group had been looking for. He grabbed the book from Draco’s hands.  
“For fucks sake, what are you doing?”, Draco said tiredly. Harry was already on his feet, the boy blown onto his back and the book flying into Harry’s hand.  
The group blinked at him in confusion for a moment, perhaps because Harry Potter had appeared from nowhere to defend Draco Malfoy or perhaps because Harry had done all of this without a wand in his hand. They then very quickly walked away, heads down in shame.  
Harry handed Draco back the book. “Thanks.”, he said, “Wandless magic?”  
Harry grinned and shrugged at him, feeling for some reason quite chuffed that Draco had seen him do it. They settled back against the tree again as if nothing had happened.

__________________________________

Harry watched as Ginny passed the quaffle to a second year girl, Greta, who adeptly dodged an incoming bludger and began zooming down the field to the cheers of the onlookers. She was very talented for her age. Ginny paralleled her movements.

It was strange between him and Ginny, after the war there was so much happening, trials and funerals and hospital appointments and therapy. After all that when they had talked they decided that if it happened it happened, which is to say it probably wasn’t going to happen. He loved Ginny of course, in many ways, as a 16 year old would his first love, as a friend, as a sister. He felt like it wasn’t a romantic love anymore.

He caught sight of Draco in the stands, flanked by Blaise and Pansy, white hair flashing like the snitch in the sun. He was starting to look healthier, Harry thought. He hadn’t appeared with any new bruises in a while. Harry was distracted by the intensity of the conversation occurring between Pansy and Draco, wondering if they was still something between them.

A sight of the snitch out of the corner of his eye brought his attention back to where it should have been. He made a dive for it, managing to grab it with relative ease with his left hand before the other seeker really made a move. He grinned wide, zooming round the field with his team, feeling light as a feather.  
Upon landing, he was approached by a man in a muggle suit, with slicked back hair. He handed him a card that read: “Mr C Harvey, recruitment coordinator, Chudley Cannons”. Harry blinked at him, as he shook his hand. The Chudley Cannons had improved since their childhood, they were now a solidly middle-tier team. Ron could wax lyrically about it for hours given the opportunity. “We’re looking for a new seeker, current one’s retiring in the summer. Let us know if you’re interested.”, said Mr Harvey and then walked away.  
Ron and Hermione, having finished their post-match make-out session, approached him. “Who was that?”, Hermione asked. Harry, who was still in shock, handed her the card.  
Ron, having read it over Hermione’s shoulder, said, “They want you to be their seeker?”  
“It seems so.”, replied Harry.  
“That’s amazing, mate!”, said Ron grinning, “You see they are the best team in the world, they’re picking my best mate, shows for good judgement.” Harry laughed. 

__________________________________

The 8th years were allowed certain privileges, it was agreed that within reason they were continuing at Hogwarts as adults to complete their studies and should be treated as such. This meant they weren’t checked on, the prefects didn’t patrol their corridor and the teachers didn’t ask what they were doing. Harry thought that if they knew what was happening right now they might change their tune.  
There was firewhiskey, and beer and some muggle vodka that Hermione of all people had brought out (she had also made the rugs stain resistant so not entirely out of character). Blaise brought out some blue pills, which made Harry nervous, but Ron seemed to think weren't a problem. Ron halved a pill and swallowed it giving the other part to Hannah Abbott. Harry felt like an old lady clutching his pearls, and so decided to leave them to it.  
Harry sat down on a beanbag next to Pansy, who wordlessly handed him a joint, which he took a few puffs of. He watched Draco laughing openly with Blaise, whiskey in hand. Harry thought that he was beautiful when he laughed and blinked at himself because _well...where did that thought come from._

Later, cuddled on the sofa between Ron and Hermione, Harry said, “What if they only want me because I’m you-know…” He trailed off.  
“The Chosen One.” said Hermione, laughing.  
“Well yeah, for the publicity you know…”  
“Harry, you caught the snitch within 15 minutes, and that dive you did…well you make it look easy and you’ve been doing them since you were 11. You’re good at this, you deserve it.”, interjected Ron.  
“What about the auror thing..?”, said Harry.  
“Do you want to be an auror anymore?”, asked Hermione.  
“No.”, he replied.  
“Well, then don’t do it.” Harry grinned. He felt like he was floating above the rest of the room, not just because of the weed and the whiskey. He felt free for the first time probably ever. He could do what he wanted, regardless of expectation or his potential. He supposed really he knew that, he knew that Ron and Hermione would never tell him any different but it was nice to be told anyway.

They danced, and played music, and drank, and generally made merry until the wee hours of the morning and sun was rising. Hermione and Ron had gone off to have sex somewhere. Harry was sat next to Ginny. “I think”, he began, a slight slur to his words, “I might like girls as well as boys.” He tried very hard to not look at Draco as he said this, who was sat playing poker with a couple of others (all Slytherins and Gryffindors of course).  
Ginny grinned at him, “Don’t we all?”, looking down at Luna, who was lying with her head in Ginny’s lap, asleep.  
_Oh_ , thought Harry, he really did need to start paying more attention to what was happening around him. 


	2. Chapter 2

### Chapter 2 - Heaven

Harry was well experienced with nightmares, so waking up heart racing in a puddle of sweat was not shocking. He turned on the fairylights that he had wrapped round his bed. After leaving Hogwarts, Ron, Hermione and him moved into a flat in muggle London. As much as it made little difference in the wizarding world how close you were to any given place when you can always floo, Harry liked London and being able to walk around its streets with ease. It made him feel small and insignificant, and like no one was looking at him.  
He felt strange getting up for tea without Draco, so he didn’t. In the dim glow, he rearranged his pillows, had a drink of water, took ten deep breaths and picked up his book to read for a bit. It was a romance novel, something Hermione’s mum had referred to as pool-side reading. It’s light and fluffy and made him feel hopeful.

His life was full, training, followed by cold baths, therapy, group dinners (cooked expertly by Ron), occasional clubbing and sex with muggles or at least someone who hadn’t recognised who he was. Quidditch training was intense, he almost always ached and each night he fell asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow. The nightmares came only sometimes, they weren’t nightly. They were still horrible and jarring, and made him feel like therapy wasn’t helping, but at least he knew what to do now.

Watching his friends begin to dream again, able to think about a future again, was the best part of it all. The wave of funerals the previous year turned to weddings across the country. The very air felt light and glowy that summer, and Harry was more content than he had ever been.  
Ron was helping George in the shop, which had recently reopened a year after Fred’s death. It’s hard on him sometimes, the ghost of Fred looming, knowing he will never be the partner George wants. Ron would never leave him though, not until George could cope on his own.  
Hermione was working at the ministry. In her dream world she wanted to overhaul the whole system, and she would, Harry thought, once she’d worked her way up. 

He began practising wandless magic, it was going well initially. He felt confident with the basics, like moving things around, simple cleaning spells and such. It all fell down around his ears when he accidentally set fire to a chair while trying to produce a light in his hand, causing a panic attack that left him shivering in the corner while Hermione diffused it.  
“Maybe getting a tutor would be a good idea?”, she said, with Harry wrapped in a blanket, his back against her chest as she held him tight (the position helped to calm him).  
“Perhaps.”, he replied, believing firmly that if it was something Hermione couldn’t teach him it probably wasn’t worth knowing. Maybe he’d try again one day.

__________________________________

Hermione was using google maps on her phone, a mind-blowing invention to the non-muggle-borns which had been discussed at length, to get them from their flat where they’d had pre-drinks to some muggle club. Harry was not involved, he was just going where they told him.  
Their group was bigger than normal, including Blaise, Pansy and Draco, as well as some other 8th years. Harry didn’t think clubbing was Draco’s scene, but as they approached he said, “Oh, I know this place.” The name of the club was ‘Heaven’, a gay club that they’d been to before. Since school, Harry had been on a journey of exploration to be quite comfortable with his sexuality, including telling Mr and Mrs Weasley. They had, of course, nothing but kind words for Harry. Ginny had already come out at this point, by bringing Luna to family dinner and introducing her as her girlfriend without any preamble. She had always been braver than him, allowing no time for the Weasley’s to absorb the situation and adjust, but they took it in their stride. 

Harry pondered on Draco having been to a gay club. It wasn’t that he thought Draco was homophobic but he didn’t know he had any gay friends. “Remember that awful guy you met here? Who kept chewing on your lip?”, laughed Blaise. Harry blinked a couple of times, even slower in his drunken state to pick up the meaning of the words.  
Draco was laughing, “Ah he was awful, I’m so glad I didn’t sleep with him, I bet it would’ve been terrible.”

They entered the club, bought some inordinately pricey drinks (luckily the exchange rate between muggle pounds and wizard money is pretty good), and started dancing. Harry, as usual, tried not to stare at Draco. Dressed in black skinny jeans and a black shirt, which was buttoned only half way, he looked honestly edible to Harry. Given the recent revelation that there was an actual possibility of something happening made the whole thing worse. He went to get more drinks. 

The night ended abruptly when Ron decided it would be a good idea to square up to a man that had brushed past too quickly, which signalled the time to go home. They were poured into taxis by Ginny, who was a strangely capable drunk unlike Hermione who tended to be a cryer, especially when Ron got into fights. Harry was shoved up next to Draco, who rested his head on Harry’s shoulder. In this state, Harry’s awkwardness level was pretty low, he shuffled Draco so that he could put his arm around his shoulders to support him better and then concentrated on not vomiting in the taxi.

They piled into the flat, all searching for water and then immediate sleep. The flat wasn’t exactly designed to sleep the 8 people that had returned with them. Hermione shared with Ginny and Pansy of all people, while Ron and Luna took a sofa each. Harry ended up in the bed with Draco with Blaise between them.

Waking up the next morning was not pleasant, the curtains had not been closed so the room was sweltering and bright. Harry felt disgusting. He got up slowly in search of water. He glugged down about a pint, his mouth still tasted like sticky sours shots from the night before making the water taste foul. He tried his best not to vomit into the sink, because Hermione would not be pleased. He bent over, resting his whole upper-body on the counter. The commotion roused Luna and Ron, as the kitchen and the living-room were in the same room. Luna managed to still look ethereal, glitter smudged across her face adding to the effect. She smiled at Harry, “You look terrible.” Harry just groaned. 

After bacon buttys, prepared somewhat sheepishly by Ron, people dribbled out of the flat to their own homes to recover, leaving the three of them on their own. “Did you guys know that Draco was gay?”, Harry asked.  
They laughed at him fondly, “How did you not know?”

__________________________________

Armed with this new and promising information, Harry found that Draco popped into his head repeatedly; any moment of tea preparation and consumption, blond hair, rainbow flags, grey skies (most autumn days in London). Many, many ridiculous things. His team members started noticing his distraction, and began teasing him about the lucky guy or gal. Harry resolved that next time he saw Draco he would say something.  
Unfortunately or fortunately for Harry the next time he saw Draco was at Pansy’s Christmas party. Harry was already drunk when Draco turned up late. “I’m so sorry, Pansy, I had to complete this order and I had to restart three potions and everything that could’ve gone wrong went wrong.” Draco owned a potions business, called ‘Narcissa’, avoiding the name Malfoy was key in its success.  
Pansy frowned at him and handed him a double whiskey shot, “Catch up.” 

To his credit Draco probably did too good a job of catching up. By midnight everyone was flopped about on sofas, listening to muggle Christmas music, which bizarrely Pansy adored. Harry looked around at his friends and felt warm to his soul, he felt safe and secure and like everything was good. He caught Draco’s eye, he wondered if Draco had been looking at him. He hoped so.  
He got up to go to the loo. As he left the bathroom, he crashed right into Draco. “Oh I’m sorry…”, Harry said.  
“No, no, my fault, my fault.”, replied Draco, sounding terribly well-mannered for someone slurring their words.  
They stared at each other for a while. Harry felt like he couldn’t breathe. There felt like there was so much between them, but maybe Draco didn’t like him that way, maybe Draco was thinking he was a staring weirdo. Harry broke the eye contact and looked down at his socked feet. Draco tenderly lifted his chin, and kissed him. Harry, in his shock, didn’t even kiss him back.  
Draco pulled away, “I’m sorry, I thought I would just…”  
This time Harry was the one to pull Draco in for a kiss. It was a little bit drunk and sloppy, and Draco was taller than Harry so they initially crashed teeth, but it was a good kiss. Harry felt giddy, he fought the urge to giggle.  
Draco pressed him against the wall, the kiss becoming more and more heated. Taking a breath Harry asked, “Yours or mine?” Draco grinned at him predatorily, “Yours”. Harry apparated them to his room, and sent a quick text to Hermione about his whereabouts. He hated more than anything to make her worry, she panicked when she didn’t know where he and Ron were. She replied with three eggplant emojis. 

__________________________________

Harry woke up the next morning, with a person wrapped against his back. Draco. Harry resisted the urge to do a happy little wiggle. He’d been woken by an alarm. He had training to get to. _Oh Fuck._ This was one of the definite downsides of Saturday training. By the looks of things, he’d already turned off his first alarm in his sleep (he had a habit of doing this). This alarm was his ‘if you don't leave now you’ll be late’ alarm. Harry scrambled from the bed, and grabbed his gear, rousing Draco as he did so. “Sorry, sorry, I’ve got to go. I’ll call you”, he said as he sped out the door.

Harry did not call him. Harry, while practicing his dives, fell from the broom and went head first into the ground, breaking his wrist and fracturing his back. He was put into a medical coma for three days while the skele-gro did its work, to avoid the excruciating pain that regrowing back bones would cause and allow for other magic to work on any brain or spinal cord damage. He woke up to Mrs Weasley at one side of his bed and Ron the other. “Hi”, said Ron. Mrs Weasley began to cry.  
“Hi”, replied Harry, his voice scratchy. Ron helped him drink some water. “I don’t remember what happened.” Ron explained, talking through the day and his injuries. “Will I be okay?”  
“Yeah, you’ll be fine. Might need some help walking for a bit, but the Healers said no lasting damage.” Harry relaxed a little, and reached for Mrs Weasley’s hand. 

He returned home a couple of days later, supported by crutches and a very wary Ron. “Are there any letters?”, he asked.  
“No”, said Ron, “We gave them all to you in the hospital.”  
“Oh”, said Harry, thinking of Draco. He thought that maybe he would have said something after the other night, asked him on a date or something. Maybe he only wanted a one-night-stand and Harry was conveniently there. 

A week or so passed, and Harry was frustrated. He could barely move, he couldn’t play quidditch, he needed help in the shower, and Draco still hadn’t said anything. It’s not like he could bump into him casually, he couldn’t do anything casually at the moment.  
He expressed all this aggravation to Hermione, who, bless her soul, listened calmly. “Well did he say he would call?”  
“No, I left in a rush that morning, he was still asleep...Maybe I said I’d call him?” As he sorted through the slightly fuzzy memories, realisation dawned that he was in fact in the wrong. “Oh fuck. Would he know about the accident?”  
“He might, obviously Ginny knows so Luna knows, and I know she sees Pansy every Wednesday for pilates but it might not have got round to him yet.”, replied Hermione. Harry groaned, pressing a pillow over his face. “Oh my god, he’s going to think I’m a fuck boy, Hermione. And it was good sex too, it’s never good the first time and arrgh.”  
“Harry, take that pillow off your face.” Harry stayed beneath the pillow, and groaned again. “Harry. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Write him a note and explain, he's a reasonable person.”  
Harry removed the pillow from his face, “Is he?”  
“Well…maybe not but he’ll get past it. Come on, after months of pining you can’t just do nothing.” She was right of course.  
“May you bring me some paper and a pen please?”, he asked, contrite now after his moment of dramatism. Hermione sniffed at him, but did as he asked, and waited while he wrote the note: ‘Hi, would you like to come over for a cup of tea tomorrow at 11am? Harry’. He felt like a cup of tea was the least fuck boy sounding thing he could ask for, when he can’t move very far from the sofa. Hermione attached the note to Pig, who flew off into the London night air.  
Hours later, Pig returned with a note written on thick white paper, folded and sealed with dark green wax with the Malfoy crest pressed into it. The note read: ‘Okay’. Harry laughed at how pedantic and extra Draco could be. He hoped that Draco would understand and go on a date with him. 

__________________________________

When Ron opened the door to Draco, Harry’s stomach dropped. Draco’s face was stony and impatient. He entered and saw Harry sat on the sofa, “Can’t even get up to greet your guest, Potter?”, he sneers.  
“What!”, says Ron angrily, ever protective, “He had an accident, don’t be an arsehole.”  
“Ron, can you not...let me talk to him alone.”, said Harry. Ron humphed and left the room.  
“What happened? Are you okay?” Draco’s attitude had definitely shifted. Harry explained what had happened, that he would be back to normal in a couple of weeks.  
“I’m sorry I said I would call. I’d forgotten that I said I would. If you just want it to be a one night stand, that’s okay, I just didn’t want you to think I’d been rude.”, Harry said, trying not to be too hopeful as he watched Draco’s expression change from the stony face he started with, to concern, and now to softness.  
“I don’t want it to be just a one night thing, but I don’t want to keep having sex if there isn’t something more to it.”, Draco replied quietly. Harry laughed, the breath he hadn’t realised he’d been holding all week released.  
“I want to go on dates with you, and hold your hand and bicker. I can’t really go anywhere yet but when I can will you go out with me?”  
Draco smiled at him, “Of course. Now let me get us some tea…”

### Epilogue

Harry is well experienced with nightmares, so waking up heart racing in a puddle of sweat is not shocking. He turns on the bedside light on his side of the bed. Draco, ever a light sleeper, stirs as Harry shifts. “You alright, darling?”, he mumbles. The endearment still makes Harry feel soft and squishy inside when he hears it. “I’m okay, I’m okay, I think it’s just because I’m nervous about tomorrow.” Harry almost never has nightmares these days, he still goes to therapy once a month, but they’ve processed a lot of the trauma in the eight years he’s been seeing them. 

They’re adopting a baby tomorrow, a little boy. Harry is terrified, he knows Draco is too, neither of them had stellar childhoods that you would want to replicate. This is what brought the nightmares on really, thinking of cupboards and burnt bacon. “It’s going to be okay, my darling. You’re going to be a brilliant Dad, and we’re in this together.”  
Harry nods, and leans down to kiss Draco on the forehead, where he lies eyes still closed, head on the pillow. He looks at the little cot at the end of their bed and smiles. He snuggles back down into the covers, into Draco’s arms and turns off the light.
